Hilarious!

So, what do we have here?
Odd shell at first glance. REALLY odd shell at second glance.
Appears to be an old Roco/Atlas F-9 shell, right?
Except somebody cut the bottom, what, 3/8" off except for rear bulkhead?

The entire Roco/Atlas isn't worth $10, even without the shell being cut in a manner which appears to have been done to fit a Lionel frame.

But there's more!

Check the measurements!

"Measures 12 inches long by 2-6/16 inches wide by 2-10/16 inches tall."

I suppose those measurements are more impressive than 2-3/8" and 2-5/8".

Sometimes you wonder if people post these types of things as a joke. The fact that they pay for the post would seem to preclude that possibility.

Turn it over, and make a boat.... :roll:
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
